Miracle League of Las Vegas
There is nothing more heart warming than to see children playing the game that is America’s pastime. But for children facing serious physical and mental disabilities, that opportunity isn’t always the easiest to achieve. Baseball diamonds are not exactly designed with wheelchairs and crutches in mind.
The Miracle League of
Las Vegas removes these barriers and allows these special athletes to experience the joy of playing baseball.
Miracle League fields remove the obstacles that arise from the natural grass fields used in conventional youth facilities. Miracle League teams play on a custom-designed, rubberized surface field which will accommodate wheelchairs and other assistive devices.
In addition to playing the game, The Miracle League is about making new friends, building self-esteem and being treated just like other kids. The Miracle League uses a "buddy" system -- pairing each player with an able bodied peer. The resultant bond is something that has to be seen to be believed.
The Miracle League of Las Vegas will serve children ages 3 and up who live with any physical or intellectual disability. Our program will reach children from the entire Las Vegas valley. Our players may not be able to run the bases or hit the ball as well as their healthy peers, but the dreams of baseball greatness now live at the Miracle League of Las Vegas.
